Akka Karate USA

Our Demo Team Fundraisers were a big success. We would like to give special thanks to Chili’s and Keith Duncan from Keller Williams, as well as the many parents and families that helped out. Our first performance will be Saturday, April 14th at the Legacy Traditional School’s carnival. Check us out if you get the chance!

Spring is here! Hard to believe that we are already facing Spring Break. We are forming a Twin Peaks Demo Team. Practices are on Saturday’s at 11:30 AM. To help raise funds for Demo Team Uniforms we are sponsoring a Movie Night. We will be showing Kung Fu Panda 2 on Saturday, March 18th at 6:30 PM. Cost will be $5.00 and includes popcorn. We will be having a bake sale as well, in case you want to satisfy your sweet tooth. Everyone is welcome!
Just a reminder that we will be closed Friday and Saturday March 23 and 24th as we will be in Albuquerque for the Annual Academy Awards Banquet and Tournament.
Also keep your eyes open in the school for information about an upcoming Photo Day. Information and sign up sheets will be posted.

Our tournament on Saturday was a big success. A big congratulations to all of those who competed, and special thanks for all the people behind the scenes that helped everything to run smoothly. We are so blessed to have such a great karate family and organization behind us.
Information will be coming out this week about the Academy Awards Banquet and Tournament in Albuquerque. Be on the lookout. This is a great event and a chance to meet your fellow practitioners from all of the great AKKA schools in other locations. It will be the weekend of March 24th, which for most schools in this area is either the beginning or end of your Spring Break.

It is hard to believe that January is already behind us.  We are excited to be hosting our first tournament on February 11th.  Mr. Davis will be visiting from Albuquerque and will conduct a seminar at Mrs. Thibault’s school (Broadway and Houghton) on Friday, February 10th at 6:30 PM.  These events are always full of great information to help you with your training as well as a chance to interact with students from all of the other AKKA schools in the area.  The tournament will take place at Twin Peaks AKKA (Twin Peaks and Coachline) on Saturday, February 11th.  Pre-registration will begin at 8 AM and the tournament will begin at 9 AM.  There are opportunities for all age groups and ranks to participate.

The Annual Academy Awards Banquet and Tournament is also just around the corner and will be held on Saturday March 24, 2012 at the Four Hills Country Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico.   As it was last year this will be a dress-up event, with all AKKA schools participating.   More information will be available soon.

Thanks to all of our terrific students and families for all of your help and support throughout the last year and we hope that we can continue to help you reach your Martial Arts goals in 2012!

The holiday season is upon us and we are fast approaching the start of a new year.   We would like to thank those of you that have chosen to train with us and hope that we can continue to help you in achieving your goals in the coming year.   Between tournaments and graduating our first Black Belts, we have certainly had a memorable year. The coming year promises to be even better.  Some things to already look forward to are the tournament that will be held here in Tucson on February 11th and the annual Academy Awards Tournament and Banquet in Albuquerque which is already scheduled for March 24th.

Just a reminder that we are on our regular schedule this week until Thursday, December 22nd and then we will be closed until January 2nd when normal class schedule will resume.

We wish you the very best for your holiday season, however you choose to celebrate and look forward to a happy and healthy new year!
